Charlie Dimmock IC spray kit
Right, this is nothing new but I'm hoping that for about £80 I'll have a complete kit.
I'm just looking into an IC spray kit to use in conjunction with the existing headlamp washer pump and timed relay as this gives a nice 2s or so burst of high pressure water. The RS2 IC is approximately 500x300 so allowing a 50mm border that means that I require 1.2m (4ft) of spray bar for a halo style spray kit or about 1.8m (6ft) for a horseshoe. I've identified the parts I need off Turbobits.co.uk, namely:-
IC spray tubing < £31
3/8th T piece £1
3/8th hose barb £0.50
I want to be able to turn the complete system on and off from the dash but also want a pressure activated switch at say 1 bar and a manual override to use before sprints or RR sessions to saturate the IC and get it cooler.
ERL pressure switch 0.2-2 bar - £28 (to be fitted to boost gauge tubing)
I also want an LED to indicate when the system is operating:-
2 position single throw toggle switch - pence (on/off)
pushbotton switch approx 10mm diameter - pence (manual override)
LED (red) - pence (operating indicator)
resistor for LED - pence (load for LED)
These 3 items will be fitted to a blanking switch for use.
The on/off switch will also activate the 12V feed to the headlamp washer relay (as the light circuit currently does, I assume) such that +12V from either switch will operate the relay for it's timed squirt.
When on full throttle the switch would activate the spray once when 1bar (adjustable) was exceeded and would do so each time 1 bar was exceeded i.e. exiting a corner or changing gear. This should limit water use a little but that's yet to be seen. The standard tank in the wing can be used and I might use the tank for a basic WI system later on and try to use the rear tank for the washer jets so I can run 50/50 methanol water.
Any help on wire coulours for the washer jet circuit would be handy like the 12V switched from the lighting circuit and from the washer stalk. Everything else is pretty simple really, just got to get the wiring right in my head and get the bits.
